Key issues with education facilities in Haripur include:

37% of schools do not have electricity,

20% of schools are without latrines,

29% of schools have no access to water,

30% pf schools are without boundary walls,

The district lacks in-service structured training programs,

Teachers are not provided training, especially for pre-primary stage, while maths, science and computer teachers are provided with very little opportunity for on-the-job teacher training through National Institute of Science and Technical Education.

Overall, in the district, there are more boys’ schools (66%) than girls’ schools (34%), with significant gender gaps at all educational levels, but particularly after primary school.
